In the calm, dia- j passionate address of the famous ec- j onornic expert. But he drew a dis tinct picture of the probable reuslts of partisanship In the matter of tar iff tinkering, and especially stressed the protective feature, “to prevent our country from becoming the dumping ground for tho surplus prod ucts of nations competing with us in foreign trade." Foreign Trad© Figures. "The total foreign trade of the world for 1911," Mr. Hammond said, "is estimated at $26,000,000,000. Great Britain’s share was $5,615,000,000. Germany was next, with $4,239,000,- 000. 'The United States was third, with $3,540,000,000. "While third In the importance of foreign trade, our export trade. $2,- 013,000,000. was in excess of Germa ny’* and almost equal to that of Great Britain. "In the year 19’ i the domestic com merce of the I’nited States amount ed to upward of $25,000,000,000 | seven times as great as our foreign trade, and nearly equal to the com bined foreign trade of all the nations of the world. Look to Home Market, He Says. "It is the home market which sus tains tly prices of farm products by developing a demand created in a large measure by the requirements of manufacturing industries. Then, too, all manufacturing centers obtain a reciprocal advantage by reason of the accessibili* of sources of relatively cheat) foodstuffs and raw material. "The policy of preserving unim paired the purchasing power of our domestic, markets must be the key note of our economic and fiscal legis lation. "The tariff problem, which so vi tally affects the welfare of our na tion, should be entirely dissociated from our partisanship, and should be regarded as purely an economic Is sue In the revision of the tariff the principle of protection should be maintained, since by that policy we would be^able to establish the prin ciple of reciprocity in making com mercial agreements with other na tions and at the same time prevent our country from becoming the dump ing ground, as I have said, for the surplus products of nations compet ing with us in foreign trade.” Mr. Hammond .spoke feelingly of the "sentimental side” of foreign trade. "Sympathy and understanding ad mittedly are essential to binding na tions together,” he said, “and 1 can not apprehend how they can be de veloped without that intimate inter course which results only from com mercial relations. • * * In short, it is a community of interests above all else that «kes f*-»r the peace of the world.” Other Sections in Session. While the economic section was meeting at Tech the botanists and the geologists were holding their session at the State Capitol. The zoologists and the entomologists were at the At lanta Medical College; the mathemat ics and astronomy sections were at Tech, also the physicists, the chern lets. the mechanical scientists and the anthropologists. Papers of from 10 to 30 minutes were read, there was open discussion presentation by lantern slides—all the possible ways of imparting informa tion, divided among the 500 scientists who are striving to advance the com limn good The social features of Tuesday be gan at 1 o’clock, when the Sigma Yi delegates had their luncheon at the Piedmont Hotel. From 5 to 7 o'clock Governor Slaton and Mrs. Slaton are to hold their reception at the Gov ernor’s Mansion on Peachtree street and at 7 o'clock the annual dinner of the Sigma XI Society and their guests i* to be held at the Piedmont Driving Club. At a meeting between President Arkwright, of the Georgia Railway and Power Company, and a commit tee of Howell Mill road citizens to be held Tuesday in President Ark wright's office the last points of dis agreement are expected io be cleared away fr<»m the proposition that the Seaboard Air Line build a new bridge over the Howell Mill road at the In tersection a bridge lo take the place of the present condemned structure and strong enough to carry the heav iest type of electric cars. The only difference at present is In regard to the flooring of the bridge and its preparation to carry street cai tracks. The railway company declines to do this on the ground that it is Strictly the work of the street rail- i way company. It is expected an ! agreement will be reached. The Georgia Anti-Saloon League, through its executive chairman, the Rev. H. M. Du Bos/, made another protest Tuesday against the con tinued existence of the locker clubs which are claimed to be defying the law as much by selling liquor to members as by selling to non-mem bers. Dr. DuBose asserted that one of jhe greatest evils of the locker clubs was that young women were in the practice of visiting the clubs with escorts and becoming shamefully in toxicated. Here is his formal statement, in part: "Atlanta enjoyed this year some thing of a '.sane* Christmas. Law breaking and crime w’ere curtailed one-half. The record is encouraging. This record is encouraging. The conclusion is inevitable that, had ALL the locker clubs of Atlanta been closed 6n Christmas Day, along with their allies, the near-beer sa loons. the record would have been another 50 per cent better. Out of experience comes judgment Steal Mule, You'll Get 4 Years-Auto, 12 Months Is Limit An odd discrimination in law be- < tween the theft of a mule and wagon I and the theft of ari automobile was - brought to light by Recorder Broyles Tuesday in Police Court in the case I of Henry Matthews, a negro, charged ■ with stealing a mule and wagon. He was bound over on a $1,000 bond. “You should have stoleh an auto mobile,’’ said the Recorder. “The theft of an $8,000 limousine is a misdemea nor and punishable by a sentence of not over twelve months while the stealing of a $40 mule and wagon is a felony and makes you liable to a penitentiary sentence of four or five years.” The negro was charged with taking the mule and wagon from before the Temple Court Building to Jonesboro, where he was arrested.

East Atlanta to Demand Share of Citylmprovements Fast Atlanta came out Tuesday with the announcement that it had a brand-new improvement association, and that it proposed to gets its share of tho appropriations doled out by ouncil. The East Atlanta Improvement 'lub had Its origin at a meeting Mon day night in the Ninth Ward. The officers are; President, W. S. Loft is; secretary, F. M. Kirkpatrick; ireas- urer, J. L.

The local offices of the Georgia Southern and Florida Railroad re ceived advices of the Rhloment Tues day and were requested to assist in making it a record shipment also in point of time. The seventeen cars are filled with Fords from the Detroit factory for L. O. Oliver, a Jackson ville agent. They are moving by way of the Miciiigan Central and Big Four to Cincinnati, the Louisville and Nashville Cincinnati to Atlanta, the Georgia Railroad from here to Ma con, and the G. S. & F. the remainder of the trip. This is said to be the largest ship ment of automobiles to any Individual in the South. Atlanta does not need locker clubs fas she does not need near-beer saloons). They are the fly in her social oint ment, and this I propose to make plain. Testimony Damning. "The locker clubs have persistently flouted the law of the sovereign State of Georgia. Testimony as damning as It is dismal may be had first hand. A business man recently observed j two young women as they emerged ! /rom a locker club in a skyscraper i arid entered the elevator. So heavy w’ere the fumes of liquor on their I breath that doubt was impossible. A j young woman, late a servitress in a locker club, is now reported in a I house of rescue. Another place is alleged to be constantly frequented by young women. Who are they? They are daughters and sisters—and there’s the pity of it! These are but a few’ of the dozens of stories of like tenor. Shame burn to cinder the cheeks of men w hen such things can be! "The law of Georgia forbids the sale of intoxicating liquors, absolute ly. Judge Russell, whom nobody will accuse of being a prohibitionist, de clared in a recent high court decision 1 deed giving that IT IS AS UNLAWFUL FOR A LOCKER) CLUB TO SELL To ITS MEMBERS AS IT IS TO-SELL TO NON-MEMBERS. Yet every locker club in Atlanta is selling whisky, and there are those who would have these conditions perpetuated. Likened to Plague. "There is no mistaking the voice of the street. And to what end? ‘For the city’s good—for its commercial w’ell being, and for its name abroad,’ is the bold and factitious answer. Locker clubs have wrought irrepar able moral and commercial hurt to i several cities of fteorgia. Every where they have been a moral infec tion and a commercial reproach. Good for the city! If a shower of plague germs or a simoon of Chagres fever could be counted good, then or.e might be justified in appraising as good the festering, polluting, damning work of tlie average Georgrt locker club. "The demand made by the Chris tian public of this city is distinct: Let the City Council provide for the automatic and irrevocable cancella tion of the licenses of every near- beer saloon and every locker club whose managers or responsible agents are convicted of violating the law. Evidence of such violation is plen tiful.” The filing of a petition for divorce in the Atlanta Superior Court Tues day by Mrs. Ella L. Aikens against Samuel C. Aikens formed a sequel to the appearance of the latter at police headquarters Monday afternoon, bad ly disfigured, and charging two of his sons with assaulting him near his wife’s home at No. 8 Mell avenue, Kdgew’ood, and also with kidnaping his two youngest children. In her petition Mrs. Aikens charges her husband with having an ungov ernable temper, with aouse of her and her children, and with having shot at one of his sons. On July 12, 1908, the petition charges, he went to Mrs. Aiken’s home and with a loaded revolver took possession of the house, while the family fled to the house of a neigh bor; that he followed them, and, threatening them w lined them up and back home like so many prisoners.' Shortly afterward he packed his suit case and left home. He returned January 1, 1909, and “after a violent outbreak of temper shot at one son.” Mrs. Aikens also charges that he coerced her into signing a warranty him her interest in the property at No. 8 Mell avenue; that she received no consideration for this, but that he forced her to do It by playing on her feeling* and by creat ing anxiety for her children. Aikens is said to possess property worth from $5,000 to $7,000 and to earn a salary of $200 per month. An order was granted by Judge George L. Bell restraining him from dispos ing of any of his property or molest ing Mrs. Aikens. A hearing on this temporary injunction will be given January 6. Mayor Woodward Tuesday threat ened to hide out until he could write his annual message and make up his committees for the new Council be cause of constant interruptions. He held a conference Tuesday with Alderman J. H. Harwell, Councilman Claude L. Ashley, Councilman Charles W. Smith and Councilman A. R. Col- cord. Committee appointments were discussed. It was pretty well under stood what these men would get, Harwell likely will be chainnan of the Board of Fire Masters; Ashley will be reappointed chairman of the Sanitary Committee: Colcord will be lenamed chairman of the Police Com mittee, and Smith chairman of the Tax Committee—that is, if the gossip can be relied upon. Mayor Woodw’ard is leaving all of bis friends more or less in the dark about his appointments. He discusses the matter with them and listens to what they have to say, but what he is going to do he keeps to himself. Doubt has arisen over the appoint ment of the chairman of the Finance Committee. A few days ago it was a foregone conclusion that Councilman W. G. Humphrey would be renamed. Now’ it is uncertain. The chances are Mr. Humphrey will get the place, but Alderman C. H. Kelley and Alderman Harwell are being considered. The fact is, if Mayor Woodward should carry out his threat of going into seclusion until the meeting of the City Council Monday, when he will deliver his message and make hi? appointments, the members of Coun cil would not be left much more in the dark than they are at present.
